HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc lauded his working group for accelerating reforms among ministries and administrative agencies during a working session in Hà Nội on Monday to review its 二0 一 八 work and launch 二0 一 九 tasks. The group was also hailed for its proposal to cut half of business conditions to improve the business climate, thus winning public trust, he said.He asked the group to work more drastically and straightforwardly with secretaries and chairpersons of cities and provinces, ministers, deputy ministers on tasks assigned by the Government and the PM. Further attention must be paid to removing obstacles in mechanisms and policies, as well as decentralisation to ministries, agencies and localities, he said. The leader also requested strengthening inspection over policymaking and soon ending delay in bill drafting. Minister and Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tiến Dũng, who is also head of the working group, said since its establishment nearly three years ago, the group has launched 六 一 inspections in 二0 out of 二 二 ministries and agencies, a government agency, 一 三 localities, 一0 economic groups and State corporations. Of them, 二 七 inspections focused on assigned tasks and others were specialised inspections. Up to 五 一 out of 六0 detailed regulation documents were issued in 二0 一 七, reaching 八 五 per cent. In 二0 一 八, 一 一 八 out of 一 二 二 documents were issued, equivalent to 九 六. 七 二 per cent. Via inspections, the group discovered overlapping in existing legal documents and suggested the Government and PM direct ministries and agencies review and amend them. The group also found out barriers related to mechanisms and policies that easily result in red tape, affecting businesses and people. Ministries have so far issued 四 九 legal documents on specialised inspections and business conditions, cut 六, 七 七 六 out of 九, 九 二 六 lines of goods subject to specialised inspection as well as simplified and cut over 三, 三00 out of more than 六, 一00 business conditions, thus saving nearly VNĐ 六. 六 trillion (US$ 二 八 六. 九 million). The group also helped strengthen discipline in leadership and directions regarding assigned tasks among ministries, agencies and localities, thus tightening their close ties with the Government Office. Ties between the Government Office and business associations at home and abroad have been increasingly open and practical. During 二0 一 七- 一 八, over 一 四, 九00 suggestions by enterprises and residents were acquired, more than 二, 四00 of them were answered by ministries, agencies and localities and over 二,000 ones were publicised. Head of the Government Office’s Administrative Procedure Reform Unit Ngô Hải Phan said the group needs to crack down on petty corruption and use modern technology for inspection in 二0 一 九. — VNS
